Now that Disney owns Fox, back in December they announced that the FX Networks is developing a new Aliens television series.



Finally we can set an Aliens movie on the planet Earth in the 'near future' where everyone can hear you scream.

Even more terrifying is that Disney is rumored to be developing a Predators television series as well.


Well here's hoping they won't be shite... because the franchises have been pretty poop for the past two decades or so. Though I did like Predators.

I have only one problem with Aliens - why in movies they taken only humans? in space they have no other choice,but on Eart animals are as good.

In first movie,one od crew was saing something about "arcturian sex ship", if i remember correctly.
Did it was made just to pass time,or arcturain and their sex ships have some role in story?

Predator 5 details have been "leaked" and reported on pertaining to the plot and casting.

“The newest installment on Predator franchise will follow Kee (Midthunder), a Comanche woman who goes against gender norms and traditions to become a warrior. Many years ago – in a time before any Europeans had ever encroached on their lands – the Comanche people had a well defined society and gender norms.

Kee is very close to her younger brother, Taabe, who is being groomed as a leader. As capable as any young man in the tribe, Kee has always been a teacher and source of inspiration for Taabe. In the Comanche way – she is Patsi – the elder sister that has helped to shape him. Kee is a truth teller and has insight that others do not. A tomboy, she wants to prove herself in the masculine world of the Comanche. When danger threatens them all – Kee sets out to prove that she is as capable as any young warrior.“


Presumably there will also be a Predator crammed into this Predator film sequel but no confirmation yet. 😛

ngl, I would see it if the protagonist was a mighty whitey rescuing the tribe and sweeping the native american tomboy off her feet.

The ending will reveal that the story isn't taking place on Earth, but some primitive seed world and cis White males from some advanced civilization show up on these planets to engage in hunting of these unaware primitive Humans in order to make powerful social commentary not just on race and class, but also how sport hunting is inherently evil.

It turns out the real Predator was the White Man all along.

It is joke,right? i mean,in first Predator it killed more then 10 elite USA soldiers with modern weapons and died only becouse Arnold was there.What Commanches with stone weapons could do to stop it?

Presumably a Predator would tailor his hunting to his prey since he still wants a challenge. So going all out with shoulder cannons and death frisbees would be unsporting. But ambushing Comanche war parties with the combispear and wristblades could be pretty good recreational fun.

Ooh, wokeist civil war! On one hand, girl power is a doubleplusgood wokeist narrative, on the other, despite the fact that there has never in history been a culture as devoted to women's equality as modern western civilization and considering our competitors are watching and learning from our actions, never will be again if we were to collapse, showing non-western cultures as patricidal is thoughtcrime. The controversy this'll create sounds much more entertaining than the movie.
A tomboy, she wants to prove herself in the masculine world of the Comanche.
So the Predator only hunts worthy prey that can put up a fight, and she wants it to validate her efforts to be taken seriously as a warrior by getting it to rip her spine out?

Well. Yeah. My days of avoiding whatever trickles out of Hollywood are certainly coming to a middle.

What pisses me off is that Pitch Black proved that you can do absolutely kino science fiction on a budget, so why are modern Alien and Predator movies always set in the modern day? Just do us all a favor and move the action to an off-world colony.
